Much will be made of when Leeds United actually start to bring signings to fruition, with another target linked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> will be working hard behind the scenes at Leeds<\/a> to make things tick in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There have been rumours of a return for Kalvin Phillips who is definitely leaving Man City<\/a>, but whether that is back to Elland Road<\/a> is another question.<\/p>\n

Fans will be divided on whether a return would be welcomed or whether they\u2019ve passed the point of heartfelt reunions.<\/p>\n

First of all, they have to shrug off heavy competition, and Fulham boss Marco Silva is proving to be tricky.<\/p>\n

The Whites are already fighting off competition from the likes of Everton who are keen on many targets.<\/p>\n

Angus Kinnear is proving to be a nuisance to the 49ers\u2019<\/a> plans as Everton look to battle Leeds for Gustavo Hamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, now it\u2019s Silva and Fulham who have provided the competition, but a certain former player could help Farke land this target.<\/p>\n

Foot Mercato<\/a> reports that Fulham and Leeds are \u2018lurking\u2019 in the background for Mainz right-back Antony Caci.<\/p>\n

Caci played with fan favourite Josuha Guilavogui whilst the midfielder was at Mainz in the 23\/24 season, as the 49ers look to strengthen their full-back options.<\/p>\n

TEAMtalk<\/a> have previously said that Caci is worth \u00a38.5m as Farke could land a bargain with the Frenchman\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

How Jayden Bogle compares with Leeds target Antony Caci<\/p>\n

With another right-back mooted, it\u2019s only right to compare Caci with the irreplaceable Jayden Bogle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bogle could be Leeds\u2019 signing of the season<\/a> as the right-back was a revelation in his first season at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old doesn\u2019t seem to be getting replaced with Farke, including Bogle in his six guaranteed starters<\/a> next season.<\/p>\n

But Caci does possess some qualities that could be of use to Leeds in the Premier League, and he does some things better than Bogle.<\/p>\n\n\nJayden Bogle \u2013 24\/25<\/td>\nAntony Caci \u2013 24\/25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGames played<\/td>\n44<\/td>\n33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTouches in opposition box<\/td>\n137<\/td>\n65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTackles won %<\/td>\n63.3%<\/td>\n66.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCross accuracy %<\/td>\n17%<\/td>\n28.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Caci is on Farke\u2019s radar as his attacking numbers from full-back\/wing-back are excellent, as Farke prides himself on attacking full-backs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The top flight is a whole different ball game to Ligue 1 however, and Caci would have to make a real statement to get in over Bogle.<\/p>\n

If the 49ers\u2019 recruitment of right-backs continues to be as good as Bogle\u2019s, Caci could be a brilliant arrival.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much will be made of when Leeds United actually start to bring signings to fruition, with another target…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[68018,748,393,4884,1860,14054,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-161657","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-antony-caci","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-marco-silva","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114633777416729204","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
